That is very rough looking, but it seems to be a thing with oboe makers to leave the bore rough from reaming as that makes for a much better sound - some of the best playing oboes have bores that haven't been polished to a mirror finish after they've been reamed to size. So long as the bore has been oiled, you shouldn't have any problems, but still check with Howarth to see what they think.
